The last time I picked up an issue (over six months ago) they had a survey card that you could fill out for a chance to win an MZ-S, FA24-90, and AF360 flash combo. I always see a lot of pentax ad's in that magazine. And as a side note, thats probably one of the best photo magazines around (IMHO) due to the focus on taking pictures rather than gear. - chris -- Chris Murray /"\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN http://apeman.org/ X AGAINST HTML MAIL Cell: 604.861.8307 / \/ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
